Toghon Temur (25 May 1320-23 May 1370) was the Emperor of the Yuan dynasty from 1333 to 1368, succeeding Rinchinbal Khan, and Emperor of the Northern Yuan from 1368 to 1370, preceding Biligtu Khan.

Biography
Toghon Temur was born on 25 May 1320 to the Borjigin family, a dynasty of Buddhist Mongols, the son of Khutughtu Khan. In 1333 he succeeded his infant brother Rinchinbal Khan as Khan of Mongolia, and during his reign he was friendly with the Ashikaga Shogunate and the Avignon Papacy. However, in the last years of his reign, the Chinese revolted against him in the Red Turban Rebellion. The rebels overthrew the Yuan dynasty in 1368 and founded the Ming dynasty, although Toghon Temur ruled over Mongolia as the Northern Yuan.
